Holiday Party

It has been a crazy week and it isn't over yet.  Students and teachers struggle to work the week after finals have been taken and grades for the semester have been submitted.  Every class students try to get off on a tangent by asking where I'm heading for holiday.  It is also very interesting to here where they are headed for break.  Everyone definitely needs a couple weeks to recharge their batteries. 

Last Saturday Bri and I attended the school Christmas party.  It was a good time at a great venue.  The Peace Hotel was a swanky place on the Bund during Shanghai's prime in the 1940's.  It was just restored a few years ago.  It was a fun night and a really cool to view the full lunar eclipse from the hotels roof terrace.  We were lucky it was a clear night.  Did I mention is was a James Bond themed party?  Enjoy the pictures below.
